My brain is just another part of my body. Without by brain I'd still be something it's just that I'd be a corpse.
IF my brain could be detached.... so far that has never been shown to be possible. And if it was, my brain is still physical just like all my other body parts (as far as I know, I know of no evidence to the contrary).
If you say without my brain I am nothing, the same applies to without my heart - in both cases I'd be dead. That's as close as you can get to "nothing".
My brain isn't me it's just another part of me. I can't have consciousness without it but it's possible - just not for humans it seems - to live without a brain... single celled animals like bacteria for instance. Or - viruses. They're alive but they have no brain.
